Research Study Shows Restaurant Lockdowns Did Not Prevent Spread of COVID
A recent study published in the peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports shows that COVID-19 lockdown restrictions were “not an efficient way” to combat the spread of the virus.
The report titled “SARS-CoV-2 Suppression and Early Closure of Bars and Restaurants: A Longitudinal Natural Experiment” was based on work done by Japanese researchers and concluded that closures did “not contribute to the suppression of SARS-CoV-2.”
The researchers used Japan for their analysis because the early closing of restaurants and bars was the only mitigation strategy used by officials there during the first two months of 2021. For that reason, the research team was able to isolate the closures as a single variable to test against conditions without any restrictions.
The study obtained data for analysis through a large-scale survey conducted across representative regions of Japan.
The summary of the research results provided that the study suggests the early closure of restaurants and bars as a stand-alone policy is not an efficient method for preventing the spread of COVID-19.
The summary of conclusions added that because of the detrimental economic effects on employment, policies other than closing public service businesses should be considered.
The data indicated that the Japanese public reduced its use of restaurants and bars as a result of the early closures, but found no “discernable decrease” in COVID-19 symptoms other than lesser incidents of “cough” among college graduates.
The study also observed data related to other symptoms, including sore throat, high fever, loss of smell or taste, and headache.
The study concluded that closures without any “concurrent measures” failed to suppress the spread of the virus.
The published results come after many months of mandated partial or total closures of restaurants and other businesses open to public gatherings around the world. Health officials touted the closures as their proposed solution for containing outbreaks of new COVID-19 variants.
A recent survey published by the Small Business Roundtable indicates that 31 percent of American small businesses ceased operations as a result of the ordered lockdowns.
Dr. Deborah Birx’s recently published book, Silent Invasion, indicates she was the main proponent of the lockdown measures adopted in the U.S.
The book goes on to claim that she was primarily supported in that push within the White House by Vice President Mike Pence and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Yeah…..so no such thing as viruses. That means no spread anywhere, anyhow. Impossible to spread something that simply does not exist.
Humanity is under a mass delusion. The Mass delusion is trust and belief in a system that tells you viruses exist. A system that mandates covid jabs and boosters that will likely maim and kill you. A system that mandates PCR tests and other useless “tests” that test for nothing at all. A system that mandates masks that harm the users. A system that lies about everything. A system that destroyed untold millions of jobs and small businesses by mandating illegal and nu-needed lock downs all in the goal of further enslaving humanity and helping to usher in a one world, satanic, communist “order” under the lies of the great reset. But of course all of this is just my opinion. I’m sure “they” had legit reasons for all the insanity that they unleashed upon the world’s sheeple.

Equally, Sunak’s “Eat Out” scheme did nothing to help the economy.

Quote – “A recent survey published by the Small Business Roundtable indicates that 31 percent of American small businesses ceased operations as a result of the ordered lock downs.”
Think about that for a moment. Pretty much 1 out of every three small US businesses ceased operations as a result of the lock downs. And all the employees that were employed by those small businesses as well.
Where is the outrage? Where are the gallows? Where is the piano wire? The USA government is nothing but a dumpster fire of bloated, corrupt, pedophiles without term limits that openly work for their International masters and care NOTHING for the citizens and tax payers of this country.
Yet, they sit like Effendi in their lobbyist infested chambers, lying and doing nothing but damage to we the people.
At least they are clear cut scumbags. Question is why can’t the average Joe or Jolene see it? Why does anyone even vote? Voting is merely participating in the scam that is your enslavement. Like giving credibility to a corrupt to the core garbage scow of demonic cretins that would just assume have you dead if it put more shekels into their accounts.
Folks gotta wake up and stop participating in the freak show. Otherwise, they deserve what they get.

2 years later and still talking about circular arguments. You could replace the article with any of about 1000 that were already written over the subject.
The conversation never advances with these people.
